What kind of quantity of SAPE links are you guys using to your sites?

gorang · Mar 7, 2013

Glad i ditched my links a couple of weeks ago.

I dont use sape links for my clients, but still seeing drop for few of my clients. It seems to be general update rather targeting sape link users.

Using 2 sites on Sape only.. No drops over here. One keyword went from #53 to #23 today. Rest is stable.

Just noticed a big drop for one of my sites. I bought some sape links few months ago for that site and now it's almost gone from google serps.

Lucky me that I was inspired not to buy sape links for my other sites.:top:

playingdota · Mar 7, 2013

yeah, maybe 10% went off from my traffic

Aneekalam · Mar 7, 2013

My 1 KW had a huge drop down.

mikemeth · Mar 7, 2013

I had improvements only

IamBlackhatter · Mar 7, 2013

No there was an update but not specific for SAPE its for almost all..

1+1=2 · Mar 7, 2013

my main competitor still dominate the first page with his SAPE links, while i'm dropped without SAPE. THis update is not about SAPE, i'm sure.

I personally think that the main target was sape since a few weeks ago Matt Cutts acknowledged it (Indirectly):

I think this is one of google's shot gun updates, what I mean by that is that even though they have a specific target in mind, they never really hit the bulls eye (hence why unrelated sites gets effected):

But until offical word comes out, this is all speculation.

Its a spam update, and google start deindexing site every min, And many other sites ranking are affecting ,

the big slap is coming in, thats for sure!

allenpaul123 · Mar 7, 2013

I don't think its only sape target, there are some other platforms on target or some signals which lead to lower rankings.

It's not a spam update,being honest no one knew what the last update was targeting,I see it being no different for this one.

radarsurge · Mar 7, 2013

yikes. I dropped out a couple weeks ago and my SAPE test site hurled forward yesterday and today. But I also have super high quality GSA links pointed to the site... high quality = highly spun 99% and unreadable. might be the same thing to big G.
